Virtual Bouzouki is a meticulously crafted Greek bouzouki sample library designed to deliver an authentic playing experience. Built for Kontakt Player, it features advanced scripting that enables various playing styles and techniques, capturing the distinct sound of this iconic instrument. Users can manipulate note passage and string selection with the modulation wheel, allowing for natural articulation and expression. The library includes an extensive range of tremolos with real-time speed control, as well as the ability to switch between polyphonic and monophonic modes to suit different musical contexts.
The instrument simulates realistic plectrum strokes by automatically alternating down and up strokes during fast passages while playing only down strokes for slower notes, avoiding mechanical repetition and enhancing musicality. Additional customization options let users adjust plectrum hand position and thickness, providing control over tonal nuances. Integrated effects such as EQ, reverb, delay, and compression offer further sound shaping, all accessible through an intuitive main menu. The included help guide ensures quick access to key features and keyswitch functions for seamless performance.
With over 2 GB of 24-bit samples, Virtual Bouzouki offers detailed recordings of each string along the full length of the fretboard, supporting multiple velocity layers for both down and up plectrum strokes. It features microtuning capabilities, glissandos, flageolets, and chord recognition that automatically alternates strokes for triads, enriching playability. Full MIDI control allows users to tailor dynamics, effects, and articulations to their needs, making this library a powerful tool for composers and producers seeking genuine Greek instrumental sounds.
